The Hornady Bullets 22 Cal .224 - 55gr SPSX in 100 count boxes (40 boxes per case) represents precision ammunition component manufacturing designed for shooters who demand consistent, reliable performance across multiple shooting disciplines. Whether you're handloading for competitive rifle shooting, precision varmint hunting, or maintaining zero at extended range, these .224-diameter bullets deliver the ballistic integrity required when accuracy matters. Hornady's SPSX (Soft Point Semi-eXpanding) design has earned trust among serious riflers and law enforcement precision shooters for decades.
Each 55-grain projectile features a ballistic coefficient of .235 and sectional density of .157, engineered to maintain velocity and energy downrange while minimizing wind drift and bullet drop over distance. The streamlined design produces an ultra-flat trajectory, reducing holdover corrections and keeping impacts grouped tight where precision counts. The SPSX construction combines a gilded metal jacket with a soft lead core, providing controlled expansion on impact while maintaining bullet integrity through intermediate barriers—critical performance characteristics for law enforcement and defensive applications. Hornady's quality control and consistent weight sorting ensure round-to-round ballistic uniformity across the 100-count box, eliminating variables that degrade accuracy.
These bullets are ideal for anyone handloading ammunition for AR-15 platforms chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, as well as dedicated .22-caliber centerfire rifles used in tactical training, competitive shooting, or varmint control. The 100-count per box format allows experienced reloaders to develop loads systematically while maintaining cost efficiency. The 40-box case quantity accommodates shooters managing high-volume training schedules or commercial reloading operations. Compatibility extends to any modern centerfire rifle with standard .224-inch bore diameter and conventional loading practices.
